Our family has always loved the many variants of Trivial Pursuit! I can recall many, MANY hours of family fun sitting around the Trivial Pursuit board and teasing my brother and sisters, as well as my parents, when they were trying to come up with an answer to a rather tough question! This game goes one further and gives you the ability to download new questions from the Internet! Even though Trivial Pursuit can be rather hard, it's not as much fun when you get a series of questions you've had before and the answers come so much easier. Check it out!
